Golf-Poulter unsure about his future with LIV Golf

England's golfing legend Ian Poulter expressed uncertainty on Monday about his future with the breakaway golf league LIV Golf, despite his hope for its continued existence. Poulter, a five-time Ryder Cup champion, made the admission in a lengthy social media post following the league's 2026 season, which concluded earlier than originally planned.

The 50-year-old admitted that his time with LIV had been "one hell of a ride" and stated that he may either stay with the league or take some time off, with no final decision made yet. LIV Golf has secured a lead investor that will provide a funding boost for the future, but the agreement remains non-binding and has not been finalized.

Despite not winning any individual or team titles with LIV, the five-time PGA Tour winner has 17 career professional wins and has defended his decision to leave the established tours in 2022, stating that LIV provided him with a significant opportunity late in his career.
